Humans of New York has taken off with insane popularity via Facebook. This page, run and curated by award winning photographer Brandon Stanton, has done acclaimed portraits on eccentric rich people within the city, the homeless and refugee population, as well as regular “middle-class” Americans within the five boroughs to provide a sense of interconnectedness at the heart of what social media was created for. With this, this book will provide you even more comprehensive looks into those people’s lives for a true sense of what they are feeling via the use of imagery, and the gritty, graphic details within the stories provided. This is unique as other published Humans of New York works have not included the actual stories themselves, but rather a collection of the pictures.
